Make your loved ones feel special on the most wonderful time of the year. Here are our top picks for this  year’s unique holiday gifts.

1.Holiday Gifts in a Jar

Everyone is going gaga over mason jars these days and the idea of giving it as a holiday gift is just as exciting.    What’s clever is that you have a variety of things you can put in these jars: cookie ingredients, baking mixes, food mixes, bath salts, and even customised journals. If you love baking, you can also try putting a small cake in a jar.

2. Go Personalized

There’s something about personalised gifts that make people feel really special. Wouldn’t seeing your name on your favourite item put a smile on your face? Give your mom a personalised notepad with her name written on it. Have a coffee tumbler customised for your cool officemate. A personalised pocket mirror with her name inscribed on it is the perfect gift for your teenage sister.

3. DIY Gift Basket

Good news: You don’t need to be super crafty to pull off a DIY gift basket. What’s even better is that you don’t need to exert much effort in putting this together. Simply buy a basket, fill it with all the stuff the receiver loves, and add some trimmings.

Quick tip: Save money by choosing just the right size of basket so you don’t need to spend too much just to fill it up.

4. Sweet treats

Admit it. Everyone wants to have something sweet this Christmas season. If you’re into baking, this is definitely a piece of cake for you. But if you’re not, you have the option to buy treats from local bakeshops or perhaps from a pastry chef friend. Remember, the key here is to give a dessert that they can’t easily buy from shops.
